As will beseen, the guard is supported by the lower" ends of the plates or bars 4 and 6 resting on the sill of the window and that there are no screws or the like used in attaching the device to the frame, of the window.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in thekcom bination and arrangement of the several parts,

provided that such changes fall within the scope of theappended claims.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new is 1. A-deviceof the class described comprising a number of tubular members, spaced ibars supported by the members, a pair of plates for engaging sash guides in the-window,and lugs carried by" the plates .tor entering the ends of the tubular members, and means for locking one of the tubular members to one of said l ugs. I d p 2. A device ofthe class described comprising a number of tubular members,-spaced bars supported by the members, a pair of plates for engaging sash guides in the window, lugs carried by the plates for entering the ends of'the tubularmembers, means for locking. one of the tubular members to one of saidlugs, :said means consisting of teeth on the lug, and a lock casing having a sliding plate therein formed with teeth for engaging the teeth of the lug, and manually operated means for retracting the sliding plate.

3. A device of the class decribed comprising a numberjof tubular members, [spaced bars supported by the-members, a pair of plates for engaging sash guides in the win-. dow, lugs carried by the plates, for entering the ends of the tubular members, means for locking one of'the tubular members to one of said lugs, said: means conslsting of teeth on; the lug,ya loc-k'casing havlng a slidlng plate therein formed withteeth for engaging 7 the teeth of the lug, and manually operated means for. retracting-the sliding plate, the teeth being so'arranged as to permit the lug to move outwardly in relation to the tubular member and preventing inward movement of the lug in the tubular member.

testimony whereof I affix my signature.
